Louise Huitson said her father Joseph Huitson, a nursing manager from Oxfordshire, died in 2021 and believed that his family would soon receive a payment.

After the blood scandal infected so far, around 106 people paid out after the infected blood scandal.

Ms. Huitson, an A&E medical nurse, belonged to hundreds of people who were affected by the scandal, who took part in special hearing of the infected blood tests about the “topicality and appropriateness of the government's reaction”.

Jacob, like his grandfather, has an inherited disturbance, which means that the blood is not properly furnished.

Ms. Huitson, 38, from Kettering, said: “Jacob is Papa's first grandchild, which is really sad because he desperately wanted to go to grandchildren.

“He loved children and all the children just loved him, he was just one of these people for whom children are simply interested because they have fun and throw them around.

“So it is really sad because he would have absolutely worshiped to be a grandfather.

Like Jacob, one of the youngest people with hemophilia in the country, she described for five hours when he had his “heelstick test” with five days and ended up in the hospital.

“I wouldn't have panic if dad were here,” said Ms. Huitson.

Joe Huitson, her father, whose precise place in Oxfordshire was not revealed, was infected as a teenager with hepatitis C while treating the disease.

Hepatitis C is a virus that is passed on by blood and can harm the liver seriously.

An acute infection had a wheelchair used for eight years, but Ms. Huitson said that he was determined to go again and did so a few years later.

However, the infection led to liver cancer, which spread to his spine, which also led to paralysis. He died in 2021 when he was 54 years old.

Ms. Huitson said that his transition from the caregiver to look at was particularly difficult for her father, who went to the gym every day before his cancer diagnosis.

“To suddenly be the guy who only had to be broken,” she said.

Despite his illness, he was the “most popular person I've ever known in my life,” she said, describing her father as a “lovable” man.

Mr. Huitson, a six six -year -old father, observed the examination process very much before his death.

Ms. Huitson said that some of her father's last words are “just sure that they will take care of all of you”.

She continued: “There is still no (mention) for the goods, I hear nothing about land for the dead infected.

“So I think he would be disgusted, he would be destroyed.”

More than 30,000 people in Great Britain were infected with HIV and hepatitis C after they had given contaminated blood and blood products between the 1970s and the early 1990s.

More than 3,000 people died in the episode and survivors with lifelong effects on health.

In her budget in October, Chancellor Rachel Reeves passed £ 11.8 billion to compensate for the victims managed by the Infized Blood Companation Authority (IBCA).

The IBCA said that 677 people had been asked to start their claims by May 6th, and 106 payments were made, which is more than 96 million GBP.

It is expected that payments for infected people will be paid out by 2027 and the majority of the payments for those affected will be paid by 2029.

David Foley, CEO of IBCA Interim, added: “I wish we could all reach everyone at the same time.”

He added: “We know that we have to go faster. We know that we have to do more.

“But from a constant start in May, in less than four months, we paid the first people.

“It is not enough and it will not be enough for the paid compensation to try to go as soon as possible.”
